Ok, so a prop is an airfoil that spins and as such is subject to limitations that severly hamper performance as it approaches the speed of sound correct?
But how do spinning compressor wheels like in a jet engine or a turbocharger not succumb to the same effects even when their blades would be slicing through the air at a rate faster than the speed of sound?
